A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty

Li Mu ordered people to go to his home to get some silver, and also called several servants at home to take care of Yan Dan and Shimi. He stayed at Yandan's place to take care of the weak Shimi.

When he handed a bag of silver to Li Niang, Li Niang refused to accept it.

"General, if you accept this servant, I'm afraid the prince will blame you when he wakes up."

Liniang stood aside, feeling particularly embarrassed. She knew that Li Mu meant well, but if he took other people's money on his own initiative, Yan Dan, who had always had a strong self-esteem, would probably feel frustrated.

Hearing what Li Niang said, Li Mu showed a bit of displeasure. He, who had always been easy-going, only now showed a bit of the majesty that a military commander should have!

"When Ying Zheng entrusted Shimi to him, he didn't expect the prince to dress her in gold and silver, but at least he didn't let her work hard for a living, right? You have also seen how he has lived this year. How is Shikiya doing? Now that he is doing well, he lies sick and doesn’t have to think about anything, leaving Shikiya to carry him! Not only is he exhausted from taking care of him, but he also has to worry about Ginliang all day long! Do you think he has Do you have the right to be angry?!”

It was the first time that Liniang saw Li Mu angry. She was really scared. She didn't dare to answer, she just held the bag of money and remained silent.

Seeing that she was in a difficult situation, Li Mu thought about it and softened his tone.

"If he wakes up and blames me, tell him to come to me! Self-esteem is important, but it also depends on the current situation! After he recovers, will he still have to worry about the family?! A man can bend and stretch. Gou Jian, the king of Yue, But he has to endure for several years and hang on to his side to defeat Wu Guo in the end! Why should he be like this? Although life is difficult at this moment, it will not always be like this. "

Li Mu hesitated for a moment and said firmly

"If he wakes up and refuses to accept it, you tell him. If he doesn't accept it, then I will take Shimi to live in my house. Instead of taking care of him, it would be better for me to have no worries about food and clothing and not let him go." She worked so hard!”

After saying this, Li Niang accepted the money tremblingly.

When she saw that Li Mu refused to leave Shimi's bedside, she wisely exited the room, leaving the two of them alone in the room.

Li Mu knew that he was being ridiculous, and he shouldn't linger here. He had an important position, and he shouldn't be dragged down by the love of his children. But when he saw Shimi falling asleep and not relaxing his brows, his heart also tugged. Became a ball.

She was a little thinner than when she left, and her face was a little pale. It was probably because she had never suffered such hardship. She had been busy in her life this year, but she had never heard her complain. Only then did Li Mu remember that it had been a long time. I have never seen her smile again...

He hesitated, like a thief. When Li Mu reached out to stroke the broken hair from Shimi's forehead, she woke up...

"you're awake."

Li Mu immediately retracted his hand and his tone became gentle and excited. When he saw her bright pupils, his heart began to jump with excitement.

"How is brother Yan Dan?"

The first thing Shimi said after waking up was that she cared about Yan Dan. She hurriedly wanted to get out of bed, muttering to herself:

"Brother Yan Dan is still sick. How can I sleep? If something happens to him, how should I explain to Ying Zheng!"

"Wait a moment, don't be impatient!"

Li Mu quickly held her down

"Yan Dan is fine. I have assigned a group of capable servants in my house to come over. Now I don't need you to be busy!"

Shimi looked at Li Mu and was slightly startled.

"You have suffered a lot these days, so you should have a good rest. The doctor just came to see you and said that you fainted because of lack of physical strength."

Seeing Li Mu in front of the bed who had not yet taken off his armor, Shimi was a little dazed.

"General Li, why... why did you come back suddenly?"

Li Mu smiled and saw that she was so panicked and tired yesterday that she had forgotten all about the encounter last night.

"You stopped my horse on the street last night and asked me to save Prince Yan. Have you forgotten that?"

Shimi's eyes were a little confused. She thought about it and shook her head.

"My mind has been so messed up these past few days that I can't tell the difference between reality and dreams. Last night... I just remember that I ran out and wanted to ask someone to save brother Yan Dan. I was thinking along the way, if I couldn't find anyone But what should I do? I even want to knock on the palace door at night!"

Li Mu smiled, his tone was gentle, maybe even he didn't notice it. When he looked at Shimi again, his eyes were a little more gentle.

"Knocking on the palace door at night... forget it. After all, this is a taboo in the palace. If you encounter such a thing again in the future, you can go to the prince. Although the prince is naughty, he also understands the priorities of things. Prince Yan... Although he is the hostage of Zhao State, he still has the identity of Prince Yan State. If something happens to him in our place, I don’t think King Yan will let it go! This kind of avoidable crisis between the two countries is also It’s better to avoid…”

Shimi saw Li Mu going to pour himself a glass of water again. I just felt that he was extraordinarily kind today.

Li Mu helped him again.

"Didn't you say you wanted to go to the palace to reply? Wouldn't it be a delay if you don't go now?"

Li Mu shook his head and said

"It's not that urgent. In fact, I'm waiting for you to wake up today, and I have something important to tell you..."

"what?"

"Ying Zheng took the throne of Qin a few days ago. I think you must really want to know. Therefore, when I came back from Yanmen, the first thing I did was to report the situation of the Xiongnu to the monarch. The second thing I wanted to do was to tell you. , Ying Zheng...has become king, and he will come to pick you up soon."

Li Mu had no intention of hiding this matter. He never even thought about keeping Shimiya by his side, or letting her know his feelings. Such thoughts never appeared in his mind.

Li Mu smiled and told her gently that the person she was looking forward to would appear soon.

Shimiya's round eyes turned from blurred just now to sparkling. She smiled, a happy smile that no one else could give.

"Prince Zhao told me about this."

"Really? Then I'm still a step too late."

The two chatted, and it was not until this moment that Li Mu realized that when chatting with her, he actually felt a sense of peace that he had never felt before. It was as if his soul had found a home, and for the first time, he had someone to miss, although in front of him There will never be any consequences between people and themselves, but Li Mu was trapped in this sense of belonging and couldn't extricate himself.

Shikiya joked and laughed with him, but it didn't take long for the smile on her face to disappear.

"It is precisely because of this incident that Brother Yan Dan became so angry that he vomited blood. I... really don't know why. He obviously expected Ying Zheng to be good in the past, but after learning about this incident, he couldn't help me with him. Is Ying Zheng happy?"

"It's the jealousy that can't be avoided!"

Li Mu said

"As long as they are living people, they all have this jealousy, but some people don't show it obviously, and they won't be able to let it go, but some people... can't control this jealousy, and it turns from jealousy into hatred. I think ...Prince Yan himself is probably very troubled."
